ragedsycokillerHmmm there's a big difference between drop out of college I'm hungry energy VS I'm a trapper and I make bands outside of school.
Capitalism and social media made the first one corny and lame

Nobody notices when s*** like this happens and its scary because its not even one person or thing that did this

If Kanye dropped College dropout today it woulda sold 35k and New workout plan would be the biggest song on there (Tiktok boost)

mr get doughI dont think Kanye sounds broke on College Dropout
Its not a big topic but he makes it clear on several songs he has money already lol
Spaceship is broke nigga raps for sure.

Bro the more y’all do these the more this goes to being depressing fr. Songs like Workout Plan or Gold Digger being his main thing over s*** like Heard Em Say or Spaceship. An artist like that today would have to be a gimmick

When Ella Mai dropped and niggas hated her interludes I knew we were finished

TomorrowI feel you but like…at what point do we turn into old man yelling at cloud ykwim?
Feels like hip hop is in a weird spot rn where commercially the rappers from our generation are still pulling the most numbers but the kids of today got their own s*** going on. Hip hop will always be run by the kids and I don’t think that’s gonna change anytime soon
The kids running their own s*** are sucking despite 2016 generation gave an open lay up for creativity.

Free YoungBoyNo d***riding, I feel like Kendrick is one of the only rappers that could bring this s*** back if he actually built out his label and tapped in with young niggas that he believed in
That's why I feel like PGLang could be something special, if he tries to put the West Coast on, and give us a multiple artists for separate rap lanes.

Yeah the industry's cooked. A song like Heard em say going mainstream today would be damn near impossible

Jul 20, 2024·1 replyinsertcoolnameherebecause the mid-late 90s was seen as the turning point (hence why @Brave "pac" point can be seen as problematic)
it's been a slow decline dawg them crackas had to work hard!
Now everybody making Pimp Trick Gangsta Clique albums and Andre being a "sonic displayist" cause it's no inspiration in rap
I don’t relegate Pac to 1996 and All Eyez On Me, I’ve talked extensively about how toxic that era of Pac’s influence was for the image of black men in music from 1998-2004
Im talking about early Pac. The Pac that tackled social issues and took s*** to the ground. The Pac who preached the good word in interviews
Jul 20, 2024Would hate to be a teen today, even when you dress bummy you gotta flex

That’s classism not wealth. He was heading there though
“First nigga with a Benz and a packpack”
And even though it was irresponsible broke niggas don’t have 25k to blow on materialsI’m not saying he was flex rapping but I don’t feel like he was tryna act like he was broke; a lot of times when he would rap about being broke it’d be from someone elses perspective like We Don’t Care or past tense

but that's THE Pac niggas of today are looking at.
They not looking at Brenda Got a Baby Pac or Holla If You Hear Me Pac
and there are rappers that do take up that vein but...the zeitgeist lol.

Ngl this applies more to Cole than Kendrick seeing the type of music Keem be making
